_q3gx··on Linguist’s analysis of body cam footage of George Floyd in Derek Chauvin trial
Actually, Rosa Parks was chosen by the black community because she was more respectable - the original black woman who stood up to segregation in seating was Claudette Colvin, but she was pregnant at the time and unmarried[0].

I am sorry, but as much as I support BLM I wish Elijah McClain[0] was the person we talked about. He was never in prison (unlike George Floyd) and he played the violin to cats in a shelter. Mr. McClain died from a police restraining while after being injected with ketamine, and he was a friggin saint.
